I believe apps only have to be written for AWE if a single process needs to use
more than 2 GB of RAM (like SQL Server).
Since that is rarely the case on Terminal Servers, AWE will allow all of the
processes combined to access more than 4 GB
with no single process accessing more than 2 GB.

It is possible - however not recommended for most.
If you put in more than 4GB RAM, use of the PAE switch will enable an
application with AWE support (Address Windows
Extensions) to access the additional RAM. But only if you have apps that
support AWE. This would be things like
database software. It isn't for terminal servers.
A better solution, although bleeding edge, would be running the 64 bit version
of the OS and Citrix. You should be
able to find details on PAE and 64bit over on Brian Madden's site.

Hi List
Environment - Windows Server 2003 Standard with PS4.0
I have read in a thread that it is possible to use more than 4gb of RAM on the
above OS by using the /PAE mode.
Has anyone done this, and if so, recommend it?
Many thanks
